An award-winning adventure story set at Tower Bridge. While the
crowds are waiting for The Queen to pass under the bridge in her
Royal Barge Bella, the Tower Bridge Cat notices a London bus is
heading across the opening bridge. She has to act quickly to help
Babs the Bus Driver save all the bus passengers, and the day. We
watch the bus fly over the opened bridge and enjoy a beautiful
firework display over the Thames at the end. The story gets its
inspiration from the true story of the number 78 jumping over the
opening Tower Bridge in 1952. The Tower Bridge Cat won Best
Children's Publication at the ACE Product Awards 2019.

The Three Stooges defied nearly every law of show business there
was. In a career that spanned forty years, they made more than two
hundred films, entertained generations of fans, and ultimately
became an integral part of American popular culture. One Fine
Stooge, the poignant life story of Larry Fine—the frizzy-haired
member of the classic comedy offers a behind-the-scenes look at
these manic high priests of low comedy. Discovered and dusted
off thirty yers after Larry Fine's death, his personal notes,
clippings, interviews, and career memorabilia provide a portrait of
his life and the lives of the other Stooges. The result is an
unparalleled visual history of the most prolific comedy trio in
entertainment annals. Like them or not, the Three Stooges remain
unique motion picture icons of the greatest renown. This is their
story as revealed by Larry, in his own words, augmented by
fascinating anecdotes from family members and friends. Behind his
comic mask was a life that blended fame and fortune, bad luck and
tragedy. This tumultuous trip through Larry Fine's years in film is
based on his memoirs, now published for the first time, along with
his astonishing collection of rare photographs—including fifty
images in full color.

Towns and cities are where most of us live, work and play, and

of urban trees in Britain. Considers all aspects of the damaging
impact of urban conditions on trees. Examines urban tree management
with reference to basic principles, planning tools, species
selection, and site evaluation and modification. Analyses the
planting of trees in towns and cities, pruning methods, the
establishment and maintenance of urban trees, and inspection,
monitoring and assessment procedures. Covers tree management on
streets and highways, parks, woods and other public locations, as
well as in private places including homes, offices, factories and
wildlife conservation sites. Summarizes the law in the UK as it
relates to trees. Briefly outlines the impact of climate change on
trees in urban areas and on arboriculture in general. This
invaluable book is essential reading for all those who wish to
discover why trees are present in our population centres, how urban
life in Britain has engulfed them in the last 200 years, why life
is so difficult for urban trees, what their role is, and how we
should care for them and include them in our urban future.
